All is well on the baby front. I just completed my 16th week. Dr. appt went very well. I was dreading that scale, but was pleasantly shocked to see I only gained three pounds. 5 total. My little weekly update from baby.com tells me I should have gained 5lbs by now so I am right on target. Although I look and feel like I have gained 20! I have officially "popped out" too, so I have a visable baby bump now. Doc says I am measuring right where I should be too.
Little Lima Bean is now the size of an avocado. Holy cow! We had a hard time finding the heartbeat which freaked me out a little, but she said that was totally normal and ended up finding it. Still sounds normal and running abut 150 beats per minute, but is normal too.
Ultrasound is in five weeks. Gabe and I haven't decided whether or not to find out what it is. I guess we have 5 weeks to decide. We are leaning toward not finding out, but part of me really would like to know what it is. Mostly for planning purposes. But, there are so few surprises left in life, and it would be so neat for Gabe to go out and tell friends and family in the waiting room what it is. So we will see.
What do you guys think??? Let's take a poll!
So that is the baby update. I got what I wanted. I got to hear the heartbeat again so now its time to start shopping!!!! Yea!!
Now we wait for the kicking to start.....oh boy.

I say find out, but I'm in patient. ;)
I say... keep it a surprise.
Either way is fine as long as the baby is healthy.
I vote yes - I'm being selfish, but it would be nice to know the sex so I can go shopping and I know what color of quilt to make. I don't like generic. OK I guess Roxana is right - As long it's healthy I'll be happy no matter what sex it is. On the other hand like Jen, I'm impatient. GEEZ I don't know if I can stand it.
Love you.
Don't find out, especially for the first one! The element of surprise is so much fun. You can always find out for the next baby and all of them after that:)
Greg says yes. I on the other hand say if you can stand the suspense then wait. But as we all know I am not good with suprises (so we found out!).
On another note though, it is nice to know the sex before you bring them home, so you have clothes with some colors besides yellow and light green!
Don't find out. There are fewer and fewer exciting, powerful, full-of-love surprises in life anymore.
